India's solar power generation capacity crossed 10,000MW , a more than 3 time jump in less than three years, as government pushes for renewable energy sources to meet galloping demand. The milestone came as NTPC Ltd, India's largest power producer, commissioned a 45 MW solar power project at Bhadla. In 2016, about 4 GW of solar capacity was added, the fastest pace till date.
